New P4R Team Rider
Paddle4Relief continue to promote the surfing talent of Sri Lanka. In particular P4R provide support, advice and sponsorship to the Arugam Bay Surf Club and it’s talented members. 2009 saw young surfer, Milan, show off his potential during the UK Pro Surf Tour Champion of Champions competition. Milan initially showed off his natural talent as a junior in 2005/2006.
Here we can see Milan trying out the 5′10″ Rusty Aido given to him by P4R Founder, Tim Tanton.
Milan still has a little way to go before he can overcome the super talented Asanka - Sri Lanka’s No.1 surfer.
Arugam Bay’s other top surfers Sril and Pranith complete the villages top four, but keep an eye out for the up and coming talent of Atha. These young surfers will be putting their skills to the test during the WQS Sri Lanka Trials Event to be held on 16th/17th June 2010, ahead of the WQS 6 Star Main Event that starts on 18th June. The trials event will determine the top 8 surfers from Sri Lanka, who will go thro to compete on Day 1 of the main WQS event to establish Sri Lanka’s 2 Wild card entries.
